Anntony’s Caribbean Cafe

Anntony is a really colorful place to eat and drink. Felt very festive with the music going in the background. I wanted to just jump up and start dancing. The food was good but it wasn’t spicy, which I usually associate with Caribbean. The drink are cheap and potent and the service is marvelous. Over all it’s a great place to eatand just hang at the bar. They even gave me the glass mug when I was leaving. Cool place, i would come back.

Had a great seafood basket with fish, scallops, shrimp, & fabulous sauce. Cute place, great atmosphere. Takes you away to the beach!

Great food, family & fun. We met Anntony himself. He and the rest of the staff were instantly like family. We felt at home & very well taken care of. The food was great. Again, like being at home with a Caribbean grandmother in the kitchen. Live music out front during the warm months adds to the island feel.

A fantastic meal from another culture. Has made the Best of the Best in Charlotte for a reason. Great service, ambiance and even better food.

The Anntony’s Caribbean on Sugar Creek is awesome! Love the food, and the service is great! The owner and staff are really friendly :) I always get the coco bread with a side of plantain and a Vita-​Malt :D Great job on the new site, can finally see the new menus online!

Me and wifey ate lunch here today. It’s always good to see Dr. Martin (owner), he makes you feel at home. I ordered my usual 12 island wings, fries and swank. Wife had fish sandwich with greens, plantains and cabbage. The food IMO is always good and pretty consistent. The waitress we had I think was new, I could be wrong but I think she was. She was OK but made some rookie waitress mistakes I.E., grabbing a plate with food on it and as she was picking it up she asked «your done with this right?» I was not done but this may be a big deal with some customers. Food is good! :-)

This was my first visit here. I was very excited to try the food, which didn’t disappoint me. However, the service was not good. We came at lunch time and it wasn’t too busy at all. We got a table right away and ordered. The waitress never came back once to refill our drinks. She never checked on our food to see if it came out ok. AND she failed to give us cornbread that is supposed to come out with each meal. We had to ask the manager, who brought it after we were finished eating. I had the pork chop and it was tasty. For my side, I had the rasta pasta-​good! The service was very depressing.

My boyfriend and I went for lunch yesterday and were blown away! They have lunch specials for $ 5.50 and for that you can get a roasted leg and thigh (chicken with an AMAZING homemade Caribbean sauce) and two sides! I chose a mountainous heap of black beans and rice (it was incredible), and spicy cucumbers (raw cucs in some kind of spicy vinegar sauce, also delish). Our server was Rachel and she was amazing too. Extremely informative about the food and recipes, and also very kind. We were so impressed with our lunch we came back again today to see Rachel and I got the same exact lunch because it was so perfect! We wish there were more places like this around… unbeatable homemade food at a more than fair price. Wish I could give Anntony and Rachel six stars.

Awesome! Mr Anntony makes all of his sauces. The roasted wings… Jesus… They were great! I ordered the roasted wings & curry chicken. So, great that I didn’t want to stop eating! Mr Anntony was miraculous! I never been to a restaurant and served by the owner. I really suggest a visit.

I will agree with some of the reviewers that you can come and everything is delicious then come again and nothing tastes the same. I’ve found that it depends on who is cooking that day. Now I tend to look in the kitchen to see who’s there and that determines if I’m ordering or not. Always, always get a Swank to go no matter whether or not I’m eating.

I asked them if they made buss up shot and he told me yes. Unfortunately I didn’t check my food before I got it home. When I got it home there was NO buss up, just a hard dry roti skin!!! So disappointing. The food is just blah. Nothing special at all. I’ve been 3 times just bc I like to give everyone more than 1 chance. Everyone has an off day. This place just always seems to be off as far as km concerned. Try caribbean hut instead!

Great food! I got the curried goat with a roti on the side and it was delicious! My only gripe was that the service was a little slow, but the food was amazing and very reasonably priced.

Vinegar, vinegar and more vinegar is what you will taste in their chicken wings. They claim it’s rotisserie style but why do they deep fry the wings (not sure what kind of grease… but it’s definitely fried wings). There are much better Caribbean resturants in Charlotte. This establishment lacks authenticity.
It appears the owner definitely understands some marketing (or at least his local «demographics»). This establishment has decent ambience… Carribean flags (minus Haiti — interesting?) hanging, popular reggae songs playing in the background and the usual borderline pastel colored painted walls. Oh, let’s not forget the owner shameless «hot sauce» plug. At least they serve good ol’ redstripe.

Average at best, and overpriced. Several much better Caribbean restaurants in Charlotte, and less expensive. Seek those out instead.

The only thing good was the customer service. They were out of almost everything. The foods flavor was very lack luster and I tasted nothing Caribbean about the food. And my stomach was in shambles shortly after eating here.

The first time I came here it was so good. I went yesterday and the food tasted off. They were out of stock of most things we wanted.
Not sure what the deal was; but my stomach has been tore up every since I left.
Hopefully this improves soon. I don’t think I’ll ever visit again tho :(

Let’s just start with the customer service, it was the best service I’ve ever had and this was my first time visiting the establishment. The food is a whole ‘nother story, it was ahmazing! I highly recommend Anntony’s to anyone looking for some really good Caribbean food with his own delicious house sauces, hmm hmm good! To top it off as we walked outside we were greeted by Anntony himself and he asked about our time and I couldn’t help but express gratitude for the excellent service and food. He has a great staff and I wish the best for him and his business! Thank you thank you to our waitress Dani (spell check), the staff, and Mr. Anntony himself, definitely coming back next time I visit Charlotte!

UPDATE: It’s now Wednesday and we are still dealing with the GI upset from this meal. WARNING: STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!

The grouper sandwich is really, really tasty! The food was good and enjoyable, I’m very glad to have been able to experience the fun that is Anntony’s.

We came here last night because I’ve heard really good things about their Caribbean food. When we arrived, we were seated immediately without any waiting. I wasn’t expecting it but they had live music which was an added plus cause I love live music and the musician was singing some Bob Marley classics. The wait staff wasn’t horrible but I’ve had better.
The food was good. I had the ribs and now I see why they are called Succulent Ribs on the menu… because they were exactly that lol. The issue we had with the menu was that we couldn’t order the oxtail or the stew chicken dinners because they didn’t have any more. That sucked cause we really wanted the oxtail too. You would think they would be overly stocked with food on a Friday night but apparently not.
On another note, to the owner who has all of the flags from the Caribbean hanging from the ceiling, I politely ask that you please add the Haitian flag up as well. Since I’m Haitian, it was the first thing I looked for as we were being seated and was later told that they have it but it was not up. What’s up with that?!
